This Ain't Yo Mama's Dodgeball


Ok, so Josh and Amy started a Dodgeball night at the church gym. It has grown from just a couple of teams to 60-70 people every Thursday night. I had my first Dodgeball Night experience last night and I'm still recovering. I did not play, of course... but even being in the gym is dangerous! Just last night, there were at least five direct shots to the heads of spectators (Jeni being one), a guy who dislocated his shoulder, someone who had a seizure and the worst injury was Amy's jammed finger which I caught on film- photojournalism at its best ladies and gentlemen.

But as I was saying, it got very, very intense in there. Josh got injured a few weeks ago playing dodgeball (and now is in physical therapy to recover- no joke!) so now he is the "official" judge. You can tell by his picture how seriously he takes his job! :)


I didn't like watching because there were some very mean people there who took the game wwwaaaaaaaayyyy too seriously. I almost had to throw down with one guy. Just kidding, but if I was the judge, I would have kicked him out. He was pretty out of control. He thought Josh was cheating and kept giving him dirty looks and saying some very bad things. He didn't know that Josh's two sisters and wife were sitting right next to him. They are in the process of forming an actual league to maybe cut down on the large numbers of people that come. I think Rule #1 should be that grumpy people have to stay home.

I definitely think that amy's jammed finger was the WORST injury. Even more severe than the seizure & dislocated shoulder to be sure!

Poor Amy, I'd take a seizure any day over a jammed finger.

I'm glad you guys have found some time to post on your vacation...although you are probably more busy on vacation, then you are when you are "working". :) Love you both.

Hahaha.... you don't know how badly it was jammed.... it hurt for at least ten minutes before all the pain went away. It was a miracle, right Amy?
